Now Harley-Davidson will be MADE IN INDIA

Harley-Davidson, the classic iconic American motorcycle brand which is very popular across the world has announced that India will be its second assembly plant ever outside the United States to build motorbike.

India's northern state Haryana is chosen and may be ready and running by first half of 2011. Parts made in America will be put together for the Indian market in Haryana.

"What we are doing is made in USA, assembled in India, which will have a positive job effect back home which is why we are driving this investment as quickly as we are," Anoop Prakash managing director for Harley Davidson India told CNN.

The company is trying to expand its brand internationally from 30 to 40 percent by 2014 according to Prakash and India plays an important role in that.

India is the second fastest growing two-wheeler market in the world behind China. More than 10 million two-wheelers were sold in India in the 2009-2010 fiscal year.

The company said it is on target to sell 200-250 bikes in the first six months in India. The high-end bikes went on sale in the county in July 2010.

HARLEY DAVIDSON FATBOY - REVIEW, SPECIFICATIONS, FEATURES

Harley Davidson Fatboy

'HOG' in English means pig. But when it comes in the case of bikers all over the world, it means brotherhood. Confused? HOG is the synonym for Harley Davidson Owners Group. The HOG is the world's largest 'Company promoted owners group'. Harley seeks views from this customers group when they plans to manufacture a new bike. New Harley Davidson Fatboy is such a bike which is manufactured by giving significance to the opinions of HOGs. Harley Davidson Fatboy is a model which gave Harley the rank as a Rough and Tough bike. Wanna know more about Fatboy?



Design & Styling

The new Harley Davidson Fatboy is built based on the style of the classic model 'Harley Davidson Hardtail' which was unveiled in 1960s. Harley Davidson's Softtail series includes two members - Fatboy and Heritage Softail Classic. Trail end of Fatboy rememberizes Chopper bikes. The rear shock absorbers are hidden in the guts. It is this feature that distinguishes Softail series from other Harley models.The aluminium alloy rims with bullet holes also is the unique feature of Fatboy. Majority of the parts of Fatboy including head lamp, front fork covers and air-filters on both sides of the engine are in chrome finish. This projects the classic look of the bike.Apart from these features, the large front mud guard give fat boy a tough look. Fatboy has got full-length rider foot-boards as in Tourer bikes. They provide plenty of position for the taste and comfort of the rider. Like the other models, the Fatboy also has a wide convertible two-up seat. The back seat also serves as a back rest to the rider.Another major features of Fatboy are ignition switches and dials which are mounted on the tank. The speedometer is analogue as in cruiser bikes. There is no tachometer included in the Fatboy. A digital odometer is also included in Fatboy.







Technical Specifications

The Harley Davidson Fatboy is powered by the Harley's traditional 1584cc V-twin engine. This power house gives the Fatboy a maximum power of 70Bhp @ 5000rpm and a maximum torque of 120Nm @ 3300rpm. Though the engine power is low when compared to other super-bikes, the higher torque in low rpm provides Fatboy great cruising power. This helps to ride Fatboy smoothly at low speed in top gears. For ensuring efficient performance and mileage sequential fuel injection technology is employed in Fatboy.The 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission in Fatboy provides smooth shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. The 6th gear of the Cruise Drive gearbox has a longer gear ratio and as a result, the engine rotates at low speeds in top gears. The results are less vibration and efficient mileage. The power from the engine is transferred to the rear tyres using belts instead of chains. This avoids the burden of maintaining the chain.The front indicators are attached to the handle. Unlike in Indian bikes, the switches for indicators are located in the place for the switches for horn and self-start.

Harley Davidson has great concern about the safety of the rider. The 292mm disc brakes at the rear and front will ensure drivers safety at higher speeds. In addition, optional ABS is also available. The 140mm FAT DUNLOP tyre provide a smoother ride and the 200mm rear tyre provides a confident feeling of sure contact with the road, and excellent traction under braking.







Ride & Handling

Anyone who rides Fatboy will definitely have a feeling that he is superhuman. What else should he feeling when a 1600cc is rumbling under him?

As the stroke length is high, new Harley Davidson Fatboy behaves like a diesel engine in the case of power delivery.

The center of gravity which is closer to the road and the wide tyres provide good control to the rider at higher speeds. The working of clutch and gear box are smooth so that accurate gear transmission without false neutrals is possible.



Price

Though the price of Fatboy in US is $15,999 (around 8 lakh) due to higher import duty, the price in India is 18.45lakhs.
